Every week we bring you new facts and figures from the annals of Geekdom. This week we’re taking a look at the birth of NASA’s forefather, the composition of DNA, and the first telephone.

每周我们都会为您带来Geekdom纪事中的新事实和数据。本周，我们来看看NASA的前任的诞生，DNA的组成以及第一部电话。

成立NACA，NASA的前身 (Founding of NACA, Predecessor to NASA)

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was the predecessor to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Founded in 1915 it was initially focused on aeronautical engineering and testing. The agency would research, test, and promote new designs and aircraft fabrication techniques for 43 years before the pressures of the space race would lead to the creation of NASA and the folding of all NACA research facilities and assets into the NASA program. Some interesting trivia about NACA: Orville Wright was on the first NACA board, NACA created the first wind tunnel in the US in 1920, and the air intake and airfoil designs created at NACA are still in use today. Check out NASA’s pictorial history of NACA here.

国家航空咨询委员会 (NACA)是美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的前身。它成立于1915年，最初专注于航空工程和测试。该机构将在43年的时间里研究，测试和推广新的设计和飞机制造技术，直到太空竞赛的压力导致NASA的创建以及将所有NACA研究设施和资产纳入NASA计划之前。关于NACA的一些有趣的琐事：Orville Wright是第一个NACA董事会成员，NACA于1920年在美国创建了第一条风洞，而在NACA上创建的进气口和翼型设计至今仍在使用。在此处查看NASA关于NACA的绘画历史。

发现的DNA的化学组成 (Chemical Composition of DNA Discovered)

Although DNA was discovered in 1869 the composition of this critical piece of the mystery-of-genetics puzzle discovered until nearly a century later. In 1953, Researchers at Cambridge University, James Watson and Frances Crick, discovered the chemical composition of DNA strands, paving the way for future research and monumental changes in genetic research. Because of their discovery, that the DNA strand was essentially a helix polymer that recombined when mated with other DNA strands, a host of new technologies like genetic screening become possible.

尽管在1869年发现了DNA，但直到近一个世纪后才发现了这个遗传学之谜的关键部分的组成。 1953年，剑桥大学的研究人员詹姆斯·沃森 ( James Watson)和弗朗西斯·克里克 ( Frances Crick )发现了DNA链的化学成分，为将来的研究和基因研究的重大变革铺平了道路。由于他们的发现，DNA链本质上是一种螺旋聚合物，当与其他DNA链交配时会重组，因此许多新技术如基因筛选成为可能。

电话首演 (The Telephone Makes Its Debut)

()

The telephone is such an ubiquitous piece of technology that we hardly even notice it (and are shocked when people don’t have one). Prior to 1876, however, nobody had even heard of the telephone. That all changed when Alexander Graham Bell filed a patent for the telephone and then gave a demonstration of the primitive prototype of the modern telephone. What’s interesting is that, after the rockiness of the initial adoption period, the telephone remained largely unchanged for decades. The basic phone one could buy in 1910 wasn’t much different from the basic phone available in 1980. For an interesting look at the history of the telephone make sure to check out this timeline.

电话是一种无处不在的技术，我们几乎都没有注意到(当人们没有电话时，会感到震惊)。但是，在1876年之前，没有人听说过电话。当亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔(Alexander Graham Bell)申请了电话的专利，然后演示了现代电话的原始原型时，一切都改变了。有趣的是，在最初采用期间经历了艰难的考验之后，电话几十年来一直保持不变。 1910年可以买到的基本电话与1980年可用的基本电话没有太大区别。要对电话的历史进行有趣的考察，请务必查看此时间表。

极客历史上本周其他值得注意的时刻 (Other Notable Moments from This Week in Geek History)

Although we only shine the spotlight on three interesting facts a week in our Geek History column, that doesn’t mean we don’t have space to highlight a few more in passing. This week in Geek History:

尽管我们每周在《极客历史》专栏中仅关注三个有趣的事实，但这并不意味着我们没有足够的空间来强调更多的动态。本周极客历史：

1904 – Birth of Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), perhaps the most famous children’s author ever.
1904年-苏斯博士(Theodor Seuss Geisel)的诞生，也许是有史以来最著名的儿童作家。
1945 – Birth of Dirk Benedict, best known as Faceman from the A-Team.
1945年–德克·本尼迪克特(Dirk Benedict)诞生，最著名的是A队的Faceman。
1949 – Birth of Gates McFadden, best known as Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
1949年–盖茨·麦克法登出生，以《星际迷航：下一代》中的贝弗利·卡斯特博士而闻名。
1982 – Death of Phillip K. Dick, acclaimed Sci-Fi writer (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, The Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, among others).
1982年-著名的科幻小说家菲利普·迪克(Phillip K. Dick)逝世( Android的梦想是《电羊吗？》 ， 《少数派报告》和《黑暗的扫描仪》等)。
